State Senators Don DeWitte (R-St. Charles) and Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) are collaborating with the Illinois Tollway to assist motorists in updating their IPASS technology from plastic transponders to new stickers. The event will take place on September 9 in Algonquin.

"Officials from the Illinois Tollway will be on hand to help people transfer over to the new sticker technology and ensure people can make the switch without disruption to their IPASS account activity," said DeWitte. "Along with providing this service, the tollway officials can help people with questions they may have about their IPASS account and with 'Pay by Plate' issues."

"This event is a great opportunity for drivers to easily transition to the new IPASS sticker technology," said McConchie. "By bringing the resources directly to the community, we're making sure everyone has the chance to update their technology without having to navigate the process alone. We encourage everyone who uses the Tollway to take advantage of this helpful and informative event."

Once activated, the sticker tag can be used on the Illinois tollway and on E-Z Pass roadways in other states within 24 hours of activation. There is no deposit required for the sticker, and the $10 transponder deposit that was paid when a transponder was purchased will transfer to the new account when it is activated.
